participation, it helps the students build confidence, and enhances the students overall learning.

process their thoughts over the information before having them respond. This also helps and
allows her students to express themselves more clearly and confidently. Ms. Razo is able to help
encourage her students to engage on a deeper level with the material as well as think more

students ability to apply accounting terms into more practical situations. Ms. Jackson's
method of teaching facilitates both comprehension of terms as well as gives her students the
ability to effectively apply them in real life situations.

introduce the new learning objectives in her lessons to her students. She will first start off
by selecting a variety of daily life topics that will encourage the students to share their
different thoughts and opinions which leads to the review and / or introduction of terms
that are related to the lesson’s goals. Rather than Ms. Jakson just directly teaches her
students the terms for the lesson, she instead prompts her students to connect them to their
own personal experiences. By being able to link the students' everyday lives to their lessons,
she is able to foster a deeper engagement within her students as well as enhancing her

thinking skills because the students are encouraged to consider the different viewpoints as well

students for the questions opposed to her giving her students the questions. By taking this
approach, Ms. Jackson is making sure that the students are listening and are able to show their
understanding. Ms. Jackson also is seen in the video helping her students walk through the
